Gasket and seals are materials used to fill empty spaces between coupling surfaces to avoid leakage and wastage of liquids and gas. These materials are used to fill the gap between two or more mating surfaces to prevent wastage and leakage. Gaskets and seals allow a perfect mating surface, in which they can fill in irregularities. They are found in electrical equipment, planes, trains, pumps, boats, and cars, and are used in various end-use industries such as oil and gas, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food processing, and automotive. A wide variety of gaskets and seals are used in various end-use industries, depending on the application.
The demand for gaskets and seals is increasing with the
increasing industrialization in the developing and developed countries, such as
the U.S., the U.K., Italy, etc. They are
specifically designed based on the end-use surface and type of coupling. Gasket
and seals can withstand high compressive loads. Moreover, gaskets and
seals help to maintain pressure and avoid contamination from external
environmental conditions.
Solid ring, kammprofile, jacketed, and spiral wound are some
of the key gasket types, whereas piston seal, shaft seal, mechanical seals, body
seals, and o-ring seal are among the key seal types used in various end-use
industries for different applications. Gaskets are used to prevent the leakage of
fluids or gases between two interfaces, while seals are used to prevent leakage
between two surfaces in contact.
